Study Finds Pregnancy Accelerates Biological Aging in Young Women

New research reveals that pregnancy can lead to faster biological aging, with each pregnancy adding months to a woman's biological age.

Research from Columbia University indicates that pregnancy speeds up the aging process in young mothers, using advanced epigenetic clocks for analysis.
The study, involving over 1,600 young women, shows that biological age increases with the number of pregnancies.
Men do not experience the same aging effects from parenthood, highlighting a unique biological impact on women.
Longitudinal data confirms that the aging effects are measurable over time, suggesting a direct link between pregnancy and accelerated aging.
Further research is needed to understand the long-term health implications and potential reversibility of these aging effects.
